<p>Just had a quick question (see title). For example, I entered my regional science fair but didn't win awards, and I entered the Siemens Competition in Math Science and Technology but didn't win anything either. Should these even be mentioned on a college app?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Honorable mentions count. If it is something like a county science fair that can count too. If it relates to your major it wouldn’t hurt to put it down in your ecs (ex: participant in county-wide creative writing competition-for an English major; or participant in annual state engineering competition). As far as I am concerned, participating in extra curricular competitions counts-just make sure you state participant-don’t want to fib.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>okay, thanks a lot!</p>
<p>Sorry to use this thread but I don’t want to make another. Got 2 national recognition + 3 regional awards. Can I include them?</p>
<p>^yes</p>
